Audit rights
ICAS membership through a reciprocal pathway or PAEE does not grant you audit rights in the UK.
If you’re seeking audit rights, you’ll need to complete a special entrant pathway to obtain ICAS membership and the Audit Qualification.
This involves additional assessments and a period of relevant practical experience. Once you’re a member and have been awarded the Audit Qualification you’ll then be able to apply for an ICAS practising certificate and Responsible Individual Status, which would allow you prospectively to carry out Statutory Audit work in the UK.
